I'm an avid Harlan Coben fan and avid reader of all of his books.
None of the adaptations measure up to the high consistency and quality of the books, but this translation was by far the lowest quality of all adaptations -- it's just so boring and it's not cooked as well as the others.
When I saw that it was set in Poland, I was very excited as my girlfriend is Polish and is constantly telling me how beautiful Poland is.
The acting in this show was good but the show itself is regrettably not like the book at all -- they made too many changes that made no sense and only served to ruin a perfectly good story.
Oh and the obligatory alphabet cult shoehorned homosexuality that is now rammed into everything... if I recall rightly, none of the characters in the book were aggrieved about being outed as gay that it drove them on a course that would eventually lead them to commit murder.
Ruined a perfectly good story by deviating too much from it.
And why is it set in Poland!!?? It doesn't work set in Poland. It really doesn't. The Boy in The Woods could work set in Poland, but not this.
It's ok, but very boring.
